In the palace.
Crescent Moon frowned and pouted. She was indignant and seemed to be very unwilling. She made a fist gesture and all that fox demon’s fault. If not, miss, your body wouldn’t be contaminated with the stench.”
Ji Xueyan stretched out a slender finger and poked her forehead. She shook her head gently, ‘”‘1 didn’t expect this fox demon to be so powerful and have such a detestable innate ability.”
“This servant will help you change your clothes.”
He walked forward and stopped beside her. He unbuttoned his clothes, revealing his snow-white skin. It was like a piece of jade, sparkling and flawless, but also like a piece of art. It was really too perfect.
The blush was so intoxicating that even Yue Ya was infatuated.”Miss, you have a good figure.”
” You, this girl!”
She entered the bathtub and enjoyed the warm water. She closed her eyes comfortably and lay on the bathtub. “Miss, do you eat spiritual fruits?”
“Is there anything on my body?”
“No! I’ll go get some from Shuang ‘er.”
“Mind your manners.”
Yue Ya nodded and jogged out of the palace. She closed the door and went to look for Shuang ‘er.
In the storeroom.
Zhang Ronghua looked at the two baskets of spiritual fruits in his hands and looked at her suspiciously, waiting for an explanation.
Shuang ‘er smiled sweetly, revealing two dimples. “”The spiritual fruit can’t be kept for a long time. It’s best to eat it before the water and spiritual energy run out.”
“Good things come in pairs. How about a few more flasks of Heavenly Jade Brew?”
“The ten jugs His Highness gave you, have you finished them so quickly?” On second thought, he guessed that she probably sent some home.
He took two flasks of Heavenly Jade Brew and handed them over. He blinked mischievously and said,””Am I good to you?”
“Yes.”
“Then can I ask you something?”
Zhang Ronghua put away the Heavenly Jade Wine and left decisively.
Shuang ‘er curled her lips and snorted.
When he reached the rear hall, he happened to bump into the crescent moon. “What are you doing?”
“It’s you!”
Yue Ya remembered and said with a smile wants to eat spiritual fruits. I’ll get some from Shuang ‘er.”
Zhang Ronghua nodded and left after chatting for a while.
Ji Xueyan’s purpose for coming here this time should be related to the recent events. It represented the Grand Tutor’s attitude. He didn’t need to do anything. He just needed to send a signal to the outside world.
He shook his head.
He didn’t think about it anymore, and his good impression stopped there.
Just as he was about to leave, he remembered something. The words bestowed by the Crown Prince were still in Shang Wen Hall. Without thinking much, he walked over.
He pushed open the door.
Zhang Ronghua was dumbfounded as he looked at the familiar figure in the hall. He could recognize her even if she turned into ashes. She was like a lazy kitten lying on the bathtub. Under the hazy mist, she looked like a fairy in the world, adding 30% charm. Her crystal clear skin was extremely attractive under the water droplets. It made a calm heart feel as if it had taken a perfect tonic.
One was not enough. He needed at least ten to soar to the sky.
No, even the sky couldn’t block it…
Gulp!
He subconsciously swallowed his saliva. At this moment, he was really lost in thought.
Even though he had seen it the last time, it was only limited to his lower abdomen. It was different from now, where most of his skin was exposed to the air.
Ji Xueyan didn’t think too much about it. This was the Eastern Palace, and it was a forbidden area in the rear hall. Without the Crown Prince’s orders, no one dared to trespass. She thought that Yue Ya had come. She still closed her eyes and said lazily,”Come over.”
She took off her noble disguise and looked like a big sister next door with a little more earth aura.
When she saw that there was no movement behind her, she felt that someone was staring at her and subconsciously turned around to look.
Time stopped at this moment!
Their eyes met. Zhang Ronghua wanted to leave quietly and not disturb her, but she turned around at this moment.
They stared at each other, and the atmosphere was strange.
He came back to his senses.
No matter how smart and rational a person was, there would be a moment when they lost their rationality.
Ji Xueyan was one of them. If it was before, she would definitely not have screamed in fear when she encountered such a situation in the Eastern Palace. If she attracted the attention of the surrounding Flood Dragon Guards, the consequences would be unimaginable.
But now, her fiery red lips began to open, and she subconsciously wanted to cry out.
Zhang Ronghua reacted very quickly. If she called out, she would really run away.
He slapped his right hand behind him and closed the palace door with his palm. His movement technique was beyond his level, even more exaggerated than teleportation. He appeared in front of her with only one thought. He had to cover her mouth and not let her scream.
He pressed his left hand on the back of her head and covered her mouth with his right hand.
It was very soft in his hand. He did not care to feel it. His anxious heart relaxed and he hurriedly said,”l didn’t do it on purpose!”
Ji Xueyan had calmed down. Her reaction just now was instinctive. She knew that she could not make this matter known. Otherwise, her reputation would be tarnished and Zhang Ronghua would die. She had a good impression of him. Although she did not want to admit it, this was the truth. She did not want anything to happen to him.
She looked at him coldly, indicating that she could take her hand away.
He retracted his hand and pointed at the words on the table.” His Highness just gave me a set of words here. The ink was not dry yet, and he was in a hurry to enter the palace. I sent him outside the Eastern Palace, and then Shuang ‘er called me over. When I was done and was about to leave, I remembered that the words were still here, so I came back to get them. I didn’t know you were bathing here.”
“Turn around!”
Zhang Ronghua did as he was told. Seeing him turn around, Ji Xueyan quickly came out and put on the clothes at the side as fast as she could.
“Look at me!”
He turned back to look at her.
Ji Xueyan’s expression was serious as she solemnly instructed,””Don’t tell anyone what you saw just now. It will rot in your heart forever! You’re a smart person. If you leak some information, you should know what the outcome is.”
“I know!”
“Hurry up and leave before the crescent Moon returns!”
Zhang Ronghua responded and turned to leave. Ji Xueyan’s voice sounded again,” “Stop!”
He looked at her suspiciously.
He followed her gaze and forgot the words on the table. He quickly walked forward and put away the words. He opened the door and left. There was no one around, but he felt guilty and quickly left.
She had not done anything, but she was still very flustered and uneasy.
When he arrived at the back hall, he happened to see Yue Ya, who was returning with the spiritual fruit. She was bouncing and shaking her head, smiling like a flower. The latter stopped and sized him up suspiciously. “Eh?
Why are you walking so fast?”
Zheng Fugui’s voice came from the front and waved at him.””Cousin, come over quickly!”
Zhang Ronghua had never felt that his cousin was so good, nor did he feel that he was so silly. He was obviously cute, so he resolved his embarrassment. His expression did not change,”l have something to do!”
He left in two steps.
Yue Ya didn’t think too much about it. He was a captain of the Flood Dragon Guards, so it was normal for him to handle missions. He took the spirit fruit and walked towards Shang Wen Hall..
